This is an amazing book, the information inside is clear and comprehensive.
I’m enjoying relearning things my older relatives taught me and many other new techniques.
I bought this in very big hard back book and kindle to read on the go, I’m sorry to say I would not but the kindle book version as it is obviously a scanned book and not in proper digital book format.
You have no option of font, text size or any of the usual options you take for granted with a digital book.
When you enlarge the text manually the text becomes blurry and it makes the whole reading difficult.
4 stars for the amazing content in the book, loss of 1 star for the difficulty in reading the kindle version of the book.

Very useful and high quality pictures and instructive

I had been looking at some of the RSN courses and had read some reviews. I decided that if I bought this book and worked through some of the projects, I would be ready for a course. The book is absolutely beautiful and will be used frequently. I am very glad i purchased it.
The index highlights Crewelwork, Silk Shading 5 and Goldwork all have 5 projects and Whitework has 3. I figured working through 18 rojects would up my skills level somewhat. However, with the excpetion of the Silk Shading Section all the projects are shown in completed form. There are no templates. On first reading I wanted to start with project 1 Tree of Life – however, this is a description of the project, stitches and the finished piece. No wool colour notes etc. I am not sure if you could buy a kit for this, but as the book is intended to improve skills this seems to be a detriment, hence the 4 star and not 5 star review.
